  • What to Do if ICE Visits Your Restaurant: Expert Tips
    Jamene advises training staff on rights and procedures before an ICE raid. "Stay calm, call your attorney," and designate one staff member to assist ICE. Have I-9 Forms ready, ask for a warrant, and document the encounter without interference. Understanding warrant types is crucial for a favorable outcome.
  • Legal Insights: Employers and Immigration Status Queries
    Jamene explains that employers cannot ask about immigration status during interviews to prevent discrimination. "Verification of work authorization is required post-job offer via Form I-9." Questions revealing national origin or immigration status are illegal. Undocumented workers have rights but face challenges. Reporting abuse is risky but possible through authorities, potentially leading to T or U visa relief.
  • Stay Safe During ICE Raids: Expert Tips from Immigration Attorney
    Jamene advises, "Stay calm, know your rights, and don't resist during ICE encounters." Always ask if you're free to leave and avoid showing fraudulent documents. Establish a relationship with an immigration attorney and have an emergency plan. At home, don't allow entry without a warrant. At work, remain silent and document the raid. If detained, remain silent until you consult your attorney.
